Hi All,
I currently have an HTC Thunderbolt which I bought back in March/April. At first I loved it, but now I am not so sure. The battery only lasts a few hours, even when I am not heavily using it. I do close out the apps, so I know that that is not the issue. It also has a glitch where sometimes my texts go to the wrong person and it is embarrassing when you have to tell that person you're sorry and that text wasn't meant for them. It also reboots constantly which I find to be annoying as well.
I have the option to upgrade my phone to the iPhone4s but I am still on the fence about it. I went and played with it in Verizon today and I LOVE the camera. It is still 8mp like mine but the screen resolution makes the picture more clear and crisp. I love how Apple offers more apps that are relevant to my life and I also love how the iPhone is sleeker looking when the Thunderbolt barely fits in my pocket. And from what I have read, Siri is pretty useful too.
Here are my concerns:
1. No flash - which shouldn't be an issue since I am not a big video person on my phone.
2. Not as customizable as Android
3. No timestamp on the texts - which is so minor it shouldn't be an issue either.
4. Unable to remove battery if need to do a battery pull.
5. The VZW employee tried to say that I would regret giving up 4G when honestly I just see it as a battery drainer anyway.
6. After reading these posts some people claim to have problems without Google Maps.
7. Cannot go online and be on the phone simultaneously, but honestly how many people do that anyway?
So for those of you who have used both platforms, what is your advice to me? Switch to iPhone or stay with Android?
